Sterling Construction Company, a heavy civil construction company, completed its $400m acquisition of Plateau Excavation, a leading specialty contractor. “Sterling’s acquisition of Plateau aligns directly with our strategic growth plan as it meets our key criteria of expansion into adjacent markets, diversification of revenue sources and customer base, and enhancement of our overall margin mix while reducing our risk,” said Joe Cutillo, Sterling’s Chief Executive Officer. “Plateau is a transformational acquisition in that it not only complements our core heavy civil construction and commercial concrete businesses, but also gives Sterling access to new geographies and rapidly growing end markets. Given the similarities in project execution experience and capabilities, and the opportunity to leverage both our existing fleet of equipment and current geographic footprint, we are highly enthusiastic about Plateau’s ability to drive increased value for our shareholders.”
